St. Patrick's Day IndianapolisTop 3 Ways to Celebrate in 2017

Recognizing my chance to learn about deep-rooted authentic Irish traditions, I asked my taxi driver in Dublin, Ireland what St. Patrick's Day was like in his city. I'll never forget his hilarious response:

"Everyone who's 18 and older is drunk by lunch ...and everyone who's 18 and younger is trying to hide the fact that they're drunk by lunch."

Considering that many Indianapolis residents share my same Irish heritage, I have no doubt that Indy will live up to those same traditions. HA! (...sans the illegal drinking part of course!)
